ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Is life intimating art on the campaign trail when Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, makes a trip to Hollywood Wednesday night?
Fans of the HBO series "Entourage" will note a party at director Brett Ratner's "Hillhaven" mansion was the centerpiece of a recent episode.
As previously reported on the Ticker, "Entourage" star Jeremy Piven is among the celebrity hosts Wednesday night at a fundraiser with the New York Democrat at Ratner's home. Eva Longoria, Penelope Cruz, Heather Graham, Christina Aguilera and Mike Myers are among the celebrities holding the private campaign event, billed as a "Young Hollywood" reception.
The Clinton campaign says tickets for the event range from $250-$2300, with 450 people expected.

Longoria’s response was full of cliche and support for immigrants. However, like Harry Smith, she doesn’t distinguish between legal and illegal immigration. She even went on to infer that Mexicans have a right to be in America:
"Well you know it's a shame because we're the land of immigrants. I think its kind of an oxymoron to be fighting this battle about immigrants when everybody is traced back to an immigrant at one time or another. And you wouldn't be here if your ancestors hadn't had a chance back in the day, so why not give these people a chance. And, you know, I grew up in South Texas where I didn't cross the border, the border crossed us. So we were Mexicans, then one day we were Americans."

MALIBU, Calif. — Barbra Streisand welcomed Nancy Pelosi to her blufftop Malibu estate for a fundraising dinner that took in $1.3 million for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
The 120 invited guests paid up to $50,000 a couple to attend Thursday night's dinner party inside a large white tent erected on the Point Dume property. The fundraiser was to increase the Democrat majority in the House of Representatives in the 2008 elections, Guttman said.
It was the first fundraiser at Streisand's home since a 1986 concert that raised $1.2 million for Democrats, he said.
At the Streisand dinner were Eva Longoria, Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Michaels, David Foster, Kenny G, Josh Groban, Marilyn and Alan Bergman, Amy Brenneman, J.J. Abrams, Dick Van Dyke, Nita Whitaker and Norman Lear.
